About me

I am a PhD researcher in developmental neuropsychology at King's College London (KCL, England). I am part of the Lifespan Modelling and Psychometrics (LIFE-MAP) lab with Dr. Delia Fuhrmann. I am also an affiliated visiting researcher at the Stress & Development Lab at Harvard University (USA) and I hold two Master's from the University of Groningen (Netherlands) in “Clinical Psychology” and “Youth0-21, Society and Policy”.

My Research

In my research, I investigate adolescence, mental health and neurodevelopment. Specifically, I am studying adverse adolescent experiences (AAEs) and my research capitalises on recent advances in statistical methodologies and large-scale cohort studies (e.g., ALSPAC, ABCD). I am committed to open science principles and interested in science communication.

Research Interests

• How the brain, cognition, and environment drive individual differences in youth development

• Disadvantaged youth populations and adversity
